As I mentioned in my Olympics BINGO post, I am soooo excited about the Olympics being in Brazil and starting this week.  I wanted to share a few recipes with you to make for your family and this is a favorite – Pão de Queijo or Brazilian Cheese Bread (also known as Brazilian Cheese Balls).

Pão de Queijo

These little bread balls were my favorite thing on our trip to Brazil.  I found them everywhere and they are just the tastiest little things.  Yuuuuuuuum.   They are definitely best when served warm.

There isn’t much to the recipe.  The only thing that is a little tricky is finding the tapioca flour. (It is the same thing as tapioca starch, FYI).  But if you know where to look, it’s not a big deal.  You can find it in the aisle with other flours.  And it has the consistency of cornstarch.

We had a church activity a few years ago with different countries represented.  I was asked to make a few things from Brazil and this was one of the recipes I made.

When you make the batter, it’s really thin.  Don’t worry.  It will turn out!

(Like Mickey!) I started 30days several years ago as my idea file. After 9 years and thousands of ideas, I realize I’ll never be able to check them all off my list.
